In recent years car production in the United States has undergone changes on a scale unknown since the pioneering era prior to World War One. New plants have been opened in the interior of the country, while most of those located along the east and west coast have been closed. The Changing U.S. Auto Industry uses concepts drawn from geography, such as access to markets and shipments of parts, to understand some of the reasons for the recent changes. Also critical is the changing role of labour in the production process, including the search by Japanese firms for a union-free environment, the re-location of some production to Mexico and the debate over the appropriate level of union-management cooperation.

The climate facing private businesses in developing countries over the coming year will be conditioned as much by forces in the world economy as by events at home. The strong business connections that have emerged between developing countries and the rest of the world, through trade and financial flows, mean that few businesses can be entirely insulated from developments abroad. So important have these linkages become that even small businessmen selling on the local market will be affected in some way by the changes in prices, interest rates, and trade flows that are taking place in the outside world. These changes will pose threats or open up opportunities, depending on the economic environment in which they operate. In many countries, business activity continues to suffer because the environment, in particular the financial environment, is not conducive to growth. This paper reviews prospects for business conditions in developing countries, focussing on events and issues that have taken place in the recent past and that are likely to be of importance through 1990. The paper is in four parts, each of which concentrates on a different aspect of the business climate.

After decades of growing state involvement in development, and many years of government hostility to private foreign investment, things have been changing over the past few years, and business prospects in the developing countries have taken a distinct turn for the better. This paper deals with this historic improvement which is part of the world wide efforts at structural adjustment. It addresses the question of what lies in store for private business. Particular attention is paid to recent trends in foreign direct investment and to privatization efforts.
